Looking for a Machine shop that can make this
I have some guy in the Netherlands
that wants me to see how much it would cost to make one (billet lic. plate) for him.
so if any one has any suggestions on where I might get one made, let me know
Thanks  |

Do you have the cadfile or at least a technical drawing? If someone has to look at that picture and do all the coding for the CNC, plus time and materials on the machine, you're looking at hundreds easily.

All I have is the one and only plate, and I agree with you on the cost I told the guys that it would be expensive but they still wanted me to check it out 
I picked up the plate from an ex-Saleen employee, it was used for all the PJ photo adds so the other PJ guys want one now |

If you have the plate I can take a look at it. It may be possible to put it in a laser scanner to get all the diminesnions. Then to Solid Works and finally to CNC. I can do this (have the resources), but it wouldn't be particularly quick as a tiny side job. It would have to be fit in between double shifts of serious contract work, and still, we're talking hundreds at best. Feel him out for his upper threshold. If it's $100, forget it, no shop that I can think of would touch it unless you found one desparate for anything.

I told them it would be way to expensive to do but I think these guys are just crazy .
So I just had to ask so I can say I tried, besides I really don't won't them having a copy of my one of a kind plate |
